This bread originally is made at South of Turkey. The people who dont like hot and spicy foods, generally use mild pepper flakes, so it wont burn as much as the original one.

Nuran brought those delicious pepper bread squares to the picnic we had last weekend. Thank you Nuran! They were very good.
